NISMO has a 300 unit limited run of a special edition tuned up Nissan 350Z called the NISMO Fairlady Z Type 380RS that has it’s engine displacement up to 3.8 liters from the original 3.5 liters of the VQ35HR engine.

WHAT A CAR!!! Only if proton has its own tuning division…….

oh my god..
what happen on the butt..
July 3, 2007 @ 5:08 pm
The bodykit (and therefore the ugly butt) is the result of aerodynamics straight out of the JGTC.
Stonking great car though.

…proton does have their own in house tunning unit..its call..R3…
July 3, 2007 @ 5:54 pm
R3……. Reduce, Reused and Recycle :p Cheers!

yeah..everybodies know the aerodynamic function…for me,the unit is for the JGTC fanatic fan..

one of my fav…..cheers

it looks “cleaner” but not really that nice.
July 3, 2007 @ 9:34 pm
that diffuser works or just for show?
July 3, 2007 @ 9:52 pm
R3 don’t really tune Proton cars, they just make ‘facial’ makeover on them.
July 3, 2007 @ 10:30 pm
never liked nissan 350z…lousy car…lousy looks !
July 3, 2007 @ 10:30 pm
the diffuser design is out of place but it seriously works!

amazing how a post on Fairlady can divert to Proton… in the very first post even! wait… now even i’ve joined in! *sigh*
anyhoo, with a limited 300 unit run, i doubt we’ll see it on malaysian roads… hv to tune ownself i guess…

my favourite jap car. i’m gonna get me 1 of these, if i got money.

The front bumper looks so lame. But the rear is stunning, JGTC-styled.
July 4, 2007 @ 8:26 am
Well the 350Z was designed by a Californian, trying to think Japanese. Anyway this is more suited for track days, rather than FC conscious people
July 4, 2007 @ 9:02 am
wait… why would a FC conscious guy/gal be driving a 3+ litre car in the 1st place? As for styling wise, the head could have been a little bit more aggresive. Now it’s like 2 different cars. The front is a stock car and the rear a modified car. wtf?
July 4, 2007 @ 9:25 am
i LIKE the front..not the back… over exaggerated …
SIMPLE is MORE
July 4, 2007 @ 9:42 am
omg the butt looks like someone took a shovel and gouged open a person’s ars*!!!
if engineers were the only ones who designed the car then i’m sure it’ll look a whole lot uglier but will perform a whole lot better! ugly butt = better aerodynamics. freaking ugly butt = superb aerodynamics!
July 4, 2007 @ 3:04 pm
Well, sometimes performance is priority, styling comes in second. Agree with normaluser, the front bumper is a bit lame. If they must paint it in white, a carbon fibre hood will make it look better.
My favourite top 3 japanese cars:
1.Lancer Evo (all version)
2.Nissan 350Z
3.Toyots Supra
July 4, 2007 @ 4:54 pm
the evox is getting 10% price hike. i guess in response to to subaru having a lousy design. as oppose to the previous generations of sti causing a price decrease in the evos. would still be worth it since it looks so good.
no need to fiddle with this. nissan should just give us the 370z or 380z.
July 5, 2007 @ 7:02 pm
Mr CuLpRit, don’t be too sensitive. I was just wondering if Proton have its own tuning division so it can make cars just like the Nismo
July 5, 2007 @ 9:08 pm
honda = mugen
toyota = trd
mazda = mazdaspeed
merc = amg
nissan = nismo
then proton = promo
